Is there any knurling on the pullup bar?

Yes. I don't find it to be too much but easily remedied with a pair of gloves.

Yes, there is a diamond pattern. Some people complain the pattern hurts when using bare hands. I always use gloves, and the bar offers excellent friction.

my question is what is the texture of the bar under the grip? is it smooth? or are the grips knurled? (knurled handles are the cross patterns than allows for grip)

About 3/4 of the straight surface of the bar is knurled, possibly a bit more.

Not in the box, looks like that is something to purchase separately to make the rack have shorter width. However instead of that - if you are locked into 'standard' weights, you can easily purchase a 7'-length standard bar here on Amazon for about $40 I believe. I've done this, as I couldn't spring for a full Oly weight set yet, and it works just fine with this bench and rack. Just my $.02

Unfortunately no. The grips are based on the same tech as the Perfect Pushups and rotate freely. There isn't a locking option for them.

I have Olympic Rings set up in this bar and usually can do ring push-ups, dips, and ring rows without issues. However, this bar does have a lot of movement and tends to sway when applying more complicated movements. Hopefully this is helpful.

Yes, I have this attached to my pullup bar (one that is not screwed or bolted to the doorframe, but that hangs on the doorframe) and have had no issues with it. Just make sure that the direction you are exerting your force is in the direction that will push the supports into the doorframe instead of rotating the pullup bar away...if that makes sense.

Yes!That was a problem for me initially. After my brother went out of town, I discovered that if I placed one hand on the grip bar and the other hand on the bar where u actually hooked your legs, it became as easy as pie.

Yes. Its just a hook that goes over the pull-up bar. No latch or permanent connection!

You can do close grip pull ups and chin ups I. E. Pinkies touching on the inside of the middle part (the neutral grip pull up grip part)

I cannot remember and I am not at home right now to see if I can figure that out now that it's installed. It is perfect though. We went w fairly high end (for two public school teachers) hardware and the grab bars look just fine next to the other items. I'll see if I can figure out if the ends rotate this evening when I'm home and I'll let you know. ~n

I have found my bar to be very solid, with no movement even on kipping pull-ups. Added weight would be no problem.

Yes, there is a pull-up bar in the front, but it is a bit low for me. This is an excellent rack though and I have used it constantly for several years.

Hey there guy I purchased this rack last summer. It already has a chin up bar built in. Its the top crossbar. It has knurling on it to grab on for grip. Solid as hell! Go for it!

Not sure what butterfly pullups are, but it is too rickety for muscle-ups. Not to mention the "neutral-grip" handlee are narrrow enough not to accomodate any fancy barr-starz gymnastic type movements
